});

I have the following issue:

I can't see an easy way to set the SENTRY_DISABLE_AUTO_UPLOAD environment variable in .xcode.env.local so that building my app in xcode locally completes without popping up an warning about failure to upload:

and clicking "Show details" reveals:

As an Expo managed workflow user I am not in control of .xcode.env.local, it gets generated by expo prebuild. I can write a custom Expo plugin to modify that file but it seems like a lot of effort. Ideally I'd like to see this supported:

withSentry({
  // .. my expo config
}, {
  organization: "my-organization",
  project: "my-project",
  uploadSourcemaps: false, // for example
});

Steps to reproduce:

• Create Expo app with managed workflow
• Install @sentry/react-native per the docs
• expo prebuild
• Open xcode and attempt to build the app

Actual result:

As described above.

Expected result:

No errors about uploads when I'm building locally.

Hi @leemhenson,
thank you we agree, this is a valuable option to be included in the @sentry/react-native/expo plugin options.

Also running an expo app and would like to have this option to disable the upload for local development builds

Including SENTRY_DISABLE_AUTO_UPLOAD in the .env files doesn't seem to have an effect on prebuild

@AdamTyler Thank you for the message, currently only .xcode.env files are loaded in the build phases.
